Nine-year-old reporter and self-publisher of Orange Street News has hit back at critics who say she is too young to report on hard-hitting news such as murder.
Hilde Kate Lysiak, who lives in Pennsylvania, followed a tip on Saturday morning about heavy police activity in her neighbourhood.
She spoke to neighbours and authorities before reporting the exclusive: “Murder on ninth street”.
She beat all major news outlets to the story and posted a video from the scene.
In the wake of the story she has received angry letters from readers who claim she is too young to be a reporter and should instead be playing with friends.

In response Hilde shared a video on YouTube.
She said: “If you want me to stop covering news, then you get off your computer and do something about that news.”
“There, is that cute enough for you?”
